[Shoalzie]

Confirmed...

[kimmer]

shouldnt have added those two 2nds
but knowing shiv, he probably started with ekblad + reinhart + 1st lol

[lightupdadarkness]

Confirmed...

Curious........selling high on EK Scott or prefer PK?

[The BBKL Insider]

I agree the picks were probably unneeded here, but I like this for scott. Subban is a monster. Now dont get me wrong, ekblad is amazing, he just doesn't project to be as good h2h as subban.

However, I suspect this is a cap move to land plek for shiv.

good deal fellas

[Robin Hood]

Ya, Scott wins. This deal just gives me 5.8M in cap room despite having the best roster in my division. That is a dangerous amount of power.

Plus Byron is waiver exempt .

2 2nds would make sense as add there so Plek to Chi town!

Mik has rejected Shaw + 2nd CHI 2016 + 2nd DET 2017 for Plekanec.

Plus Byron is waiver exempt .

Too many GP and too old not exempt on both accounts

Fair deal

I checked his numbers. Can you double check for me? His GP and age make him waiver-exempt on my spreadsheet.

Did u update to makes new one? I know the rules have changed

I used the spreadsheet Mike gave me. He's 26 and 138 GP...

Given Scott should be rebuilding, I believe this is a poor move for him. He gives up roster depth and 2 2nds, and imo, Ekblad will be as good/better bbkl'er than Subban in the future, while having a lot less cap for the next few years, which would make him more valuable in a trade than subban.

Unless Scott is planning on moving Subban for a package of high end prospects? Either way, given im holding Scotts 2017 1st, I actually like this deal for me.

On the other hand, shiv is in win now mode, so its probably good for him as subban and ekblad should be somewhat similar next year, but he now has 5 million in cap space and 3 other pieces to help him upgrade the roster.

[Shoalzie]

It was either the two picks or Marc Methot (which cost me Brandon Carlo and Oscar Lindberg). Byron was basically a throw in. Ekblad is going to be very good but as I said to Shiv...but how good?

The new waiver rules are 120 games and over 25 are waiver eligible.

Shiv certainly had his reason to make this move...his teams are known for being full of very solid H2H players with reasonable cap hits. I kinda wondered why he got Subban to begin with.

For me, he's 26 and very much in his prime. The only pieces I would've considered moving Ekblad or Bennett was for proven quality players in their prime. Subban's resale value is unknown but I'm not looking to move him now. He's my new #1 defenseman.

Yes, I'm building but I'm adding pieces to make me far more competitive. I want to add quality young players along the way but I'm also getting tired of being an easy win for everyone else.

[Matthew]

Unless you are planning on breaking up subban for multiple high end prospects (alas Kane for Nylander, Morrissey, Kamenev, Samuelsson) then I believe this is a step backwards given your situation.

[The BBKL Insider]

I disagree. Subban will be superior in this format
